What's Happening?
The European Shooting Stars platform, organized by European Film Promotion and supported by Creative Europe's Media Programme, is showcasing ten promising European actors at the Berlin Film Festival. This initiative, now in its 29th edition, aims to help these actors build international careers. From February 13-16, the selected actors will engage in workshops, panels, and meetings with international journalists, producers, and casting directors. The event will culminate in an open session at the Berlinale Hub, featuring conversations, video clips, and games. The actors were chosen by a jury of industry professionals from various countries.

providing a platform for actors to gain international exposure. This initiative not only benefits the actors by opening doors to global opportunities but also enriches the film industry by introducing fresh talent. The program's support from Creative Europe underscores the importance of cultural exchange and collaboration in the arts.
